AUGUST 2006

Hi Everyone,

A celebration is not a celebration without the high energy and spirit such as what we experienced at last months Mi Buenos Aires Milonga. Thanks for your contribution and generosity. Your inspiration is the driving force for future activities to come.

All the best and good wishes to our Australian representatives from Salon and Stage Tango categories who are representing Australia at the Buenos Aires WORLD TANGO CHAMPIONSHIP in August. Meanwhile, we will continue our tango activities in Sydney as usual with our classes, monthly and weekly Milongas for your enjoyment.

'THE TANGO MOMENT'
by Gibson Batch

The simple steps are the best.
The left and pause, then right again.
Just intention. Just attention.
To details on our breathing.
To the texture of your shirt, and perfume in the room.

Simplest is the best.
Back, front, front, back.
In perfect symmetry perfectly in each step,
this very step.

I don't know you well at all.
But I'm sure I will recall,
your touch, your steps, your breath.
When I am alone again,
when we are each alone again.

Sharee Wilson is an accredited teacher of classical ballet at the Royal Academy of Dance who is now an active member of our Manly Studio. This is Sheree's poetic interpretation of her tango moment. 

"You feel the life of the timber floor penetrate through to your feet, you close your eyes to immerse your mind in the music of tango... As it translates through to your body, propelling through to your mind. Your partner's arm embrace you, every move is decided for you. the only discussion there is:
Is to melt, and give over to this virtually intoxicated state."
